Modern Medical Science Is Truly Fascinating
Discussion
This is as interesting as it is gross 😆
I just wonder how bad that must have hurt. I had braces as a kid and they hurt enough without harpooning a tooth out of my gums.
Have the same condition as the kid on stranger things. I had to have this done to every single adult tooth over the course of 8 years and my teeth are still crooked and not fully developed because I couldn’t continue having so much metal in my mouth for so long
Had this done on both of my upper canines. The surgery to glue the brace part on the teeth that are still inside of you basically cuts open your palate. In my case, they had to cut all of the palate open, and I was feeling it against my tongue during the surgery. When all of the anaesthetic dissolved if was funny, to say the least.
The process in itself is probably one of the most painful things that I had to endure in my life. It is even more painful when the orthodontiste puts too much pressure on the string that pulls the teeth out, and instead of the teeth being pulled, it's the brace part that end up ungluing itself and piercing violently trough your palate....
But hey, at least I have gorgeous canines now !
I had this procedure! My upper canine tooth never came in and they surgically exposed the tooth, attached a bracket and chain to it, and then closed the gums. Every 2 weeks I’d go into the orthodontist and they’d tighten the chain to slowly drag it into place.
It was a WILD time in my life as far as all my dental work that I had to get done.
Same here, I did not enjoy it.
Same, I had 7 extra partially formed teeth between baby and adult teeth, and it caused all-round dental chaos!
And painful
This person gone from quasimoto to prince charming.
What a transformation
What’s the time lapse on this?
A year or more. I had this done for one of my incisors and it involved surgery to attach a brace onto the hidden tooth, time for the gum heal, and then 7 months of pulling it down with another 4-6 months of aligning it with the rest of the teeth
Painful? I had braces for 18-months and some of the adjustments sucked. But they were nothing like what you’ve been through !! 💪
The surgery was significantly worse than having 4 wisdom teeth removed. They had to scrape away at the roof of my mouth for 15 minutes while I was awake, with local anesthetic of course, but when that wore off it was truly awful for almost 2 weeks even with hydrocodone. Then it was another year of relatively constant dull pain as the tooth was pulled out.
Its crooked now but thats because I didn't wear my retainer. But at least its present and accounted for 😄
Bruh, all that to not wear your retainer lol
And yet, so many people post-braces will eventually forget/stop caring about wear their retainer! And even just wearing it a couple of times a week makes such a difference!
Source: have paid for a second set of braces as an adult, having learnt my lesson the hard way.
I didn’t have this done but I had extensive orthodontic work in my childhood due to sucking my thumb for too long. For me it was like I went through years and years of pain and embarrassment and I still have to worry about a retainer at night? Hell no. lol.
Aye !! I lost my retainer too and now, after 15 years of relatively little shift the teeth are moving back to their old position at an alarming rate haha 🤣
I was thinking about a quick invisiLine workout to set em back to straight !!
Teeth Never Forget
I grew up poor. My parents couldnt afford ortho treatment for me when i was a kid. I’m a middle age adult now wearing Invisalign. Wish i had done this earlier, but at least i can stop being self-conscious about my teeth for the second half of my life. You better believe i’m going to be disciplined about wearing that retainer. Haha
You’ll loose one or two. Pay for the replacement .. that’s all
This tracks with my experience as a kid. 24k gold chain attached to the tooth in my sinus and 6 months or so to yank it down. The worst part honestly was the smell from the cauterizing that lasted for weeks.
Same! What a fun 2 years with braces that journey was
Did it suck?
Damn, that's a tough experience. I had a similar but opposite procedure where they removed teeth, separated and pulled existing teeth forward. It took about 1.5 years, and that is without tissue removal or surgery beyond extraction.
I can feel the braces after a visit while watching this.
57 seconds
You stupid lol
AI
Parts of the fittings fuse together, it adds drops of tooth to random locations, likely just light glare that's hitting the same brightness as the nearby teeth and getting turned into a "section" of tooth.
Likely a set of progress photos and instructions to create them into a timelapse
They are asking how long such a treatment would take on real life. Probably 3 years at least.
I had this done as a kid. I only had braces for two years total. I think it took like a year for it to come down but I honestly don't remember anymore.
Looks like just regular morphs to me. Nothing eveyrhtign is AI.
It's real time
That has to hurt
Why do some pictures look AI made ?
Did they take a lot of pictures and asked AI to animate it ?
Yea those transformations absolutely look like AI...
It's not AI, they're generative fill. Made with keystones. I used this CGI to animate short films back In 2002
This. Doesn't use AI. Fills in the gaps and transitions between one photo to the next, while aligning the images to minimize the change in those things that stay the same.
Think the Michael Jackson video Black and White.
thats called a morph transition, way older than generative ai
Ooh, I’d bet that was a painful ache for a long time. Pulling the teeth apart that far and then pulling another one down out of the gums…yikes.
I had braces for several years, and minor corrections were painful. Can’t even imagine dealing with this.
How do you get in all shots the same perfect exposure, teeth and gums colour?
Artful Illumination
So AI?
Maybe AI made it?
That’s what I thought. Look how the braces join to the final tooth. The wires go all crazy and it looks like the metal erupts from the gum before the tooth.
The price may also be truly fascinating. Can someone lemme know the cost of this treatment?
Neighborhood of 25k. Need similar myself and it would have to be out of pocket because my insurance wouldn’t cover it
When I was a kid (~25y ago) for me price 10k. It was equivalent of 1/3 of 1 bedroom apartment. Of course I didnt had it :D wouldnt spend it now either, teeth a bit croocked, whatever.
Ohh, someday then.
Depends how much needs to be done. Usually $6K- $15k. $25k seems steep
It is indeed ... even if a bit "ew".
The sound effects were so unnecessary
I had this done! They had to burn away the gum with a laser to expose my tooth enough. The smell and taste after was atrocious
This looks like AI
That’s crazy. Prove this isn’t AI.
damn, felt that...
Not sure how "modern" this is, but I had this done back in the early 80's.
Lisa needed braces
Why I feel like that this is an AI video.
What could be the estimated cost of this in the US?
$10,000? Regular braces cost $5,000 a decade ago.
That was awesome! Time and pressure.
that is indeed amazing and I didn't know this could be done. Great video.
It's not better to just remove the tooth that was hiding up above?
It was their front tooth, so no. I had this done and my teeth are properly aligned now. If they had pulled that tooth, it wouldn't have matched with the bottom teeth.
I feel like many people in the old days probably had to be experimented on brutally to even come up with the idea to make this sort of treatment we see today where it’s all fine and dandy in comparison and even by today’s standards looks potentially intense.
This is the kind of stuff that I imagine if there is a God it probably gets pretty angry about.
God: if I wanted you to have a straight smile I wouldn't have left that tooth inside of your jaw! PUT IT BACK.
Not many people know this but the 10th circle of hell, directly underneath Satan, is comprised of only dentist. It smells like Listerine constantly and no one can get cavities. Which sounds good at first but the dentist go insane from boredom eventually and become each other's torturers. Ripping out one another's teeth, which instantaneously grow back.
It looked like a vampire tooth emerging. I was weirded out, but couldn't look away.
Wow, how long?
Holly shit! And in matter of seconds.
That’s 20 thousand dollars!
When can I add an inch
That'll be $59,545
What's to keep that tooth from retracting back in? Normally you use a retainer but would that work in this case?
That is gnarly
That little blob... That was used to pull out the hidden one.. What was that?
It ultimately vanished. (discarded by the dentist most likely)
wow
Real win for the british
This is engineering
Explains the Tom Cruise middle tooth
I bet that s*** hurt like craaaaaazy. I remember my braces being painful and my teeth barely did any significant moving at all!
Ayyyy I had this done to me! The tooth they pulled forward ended up getting stuck a lil bit away from its destination. Ended up having it pulled. Now I have a missing tooth cause I don’t wanna pay the exuberant price to get a fake one put in.
I should have left my adorable lil vampire tooth in :(
How did they go up in there and get the hidden tooth
One of my canines was impacted like that. I had braces and the spring spacer. A couple weeks before I was scheduled to have the bracket placed on it to pull the tooth down, the tooth just grew into its spot. I remember losing my tooth in 2nd grade and the bump from the adult tooth just never moved.
This grosses me out more than the sub I just ingested about the recent engine that ingested a guy
I had a similar fix done as a kid, one of my teeth was rotated on two axis — they put a bracket on the backside of the tooth to rotate the edge down and level with my other teeth — then a new bracket on the front to twist it in-line with my top row of teeth.
Took 3 years
Couldn’t stop seeing toenails 🦶🏼
This could have saved me so much money if I did this instead with my lower canine. Instead it was removed in pieces, then separated teeth with braces and added an implant; all separate costs.
Amazing when you have money.
Teeth are fucking disgusting.
Mine came in sideways and more or less had to do this to get them straight, but they don't want to stay put
How long does this take from start to finish? It must be years?
The video is backwards
Disney adult FOR SURE
Oh jeebus this brings back memories. Three of my canines required “windows” (the pulling down of the tooth still up in the gum). It fucking suuucked.
Wow, medical science is blowing my mind these days!
I had something similar. My canine was in the roof of my mouth. Fortunately, I never lost the baby tooth so the space was still there after they pulled it when I got my braces. Then I had to go in for surgery to dig a deep hole into the roof of my mouth just to expose the tooth and put a bracket on it. Then the Ortho put a hook on the tooth and rubber bands pulled it into place. Not sure how it worked so well because I don't remember wearing the band that often. I guess the tooth just know where it was supposed to go.
That is quite unfortunate to have a tooth grow in that messed up damn
I had this done when I had braces as a kid. Not fun.
This fuckin music 🤦♂️
Why does the second picture look like gnarly toe nails?
Jesus can we get an NSFW tag on this or something
Omg ow I have no teeth and I still felt that *
GET OVER HERE
The transitions look like AI spasms
I’m sure that was cheap
Yeah mortgage cheap.
Did you find this post really amazing (in a positive way)?
If yes, then UPVOTE this comment otherwise DOWNVOTE it.
